Chapter 186: The Joy of the Winery
This small town close to the desert is a paradise for grapes because of its unique climate. Large and small wineries are scattered in lush vineyards, attracting a large number of tourists to visit and taste the wines.
When Xiang Xiaoxi was called up, the car just drove into the winery, and she saw a row of people standing on the side of the road, bending down respectfully.
"Let's go!" Shen Wang Ye handed her the sunglasses, "It's sunny outside, bring it." β
He found that every time Xiang Xiaoxi woke up, she never had sleepy eyes or was not in a state, as long as she opened her eyes, her eyes were clear. Much like those of them who have been trained.
But they were trained, as for Xiang Xiaoxi...... It can only be said that she was born like this.
"Oh." Xiang Xiaoxi didn't know that the man had started to study her again, so he took the sunglasses and took them, and followed Shen Wangye out of the car.
"Boss!" A row of people said hello loudly, and then saw another woman coming out of the car, and they were immediately confused.
This is...... Shemale?
No wonder everyone thinks so, everyone knows that Shen Wang Ye hates women, let alone riding in the car together, they can't get close to him. A young girl suddenly appeared, it's too unscientific.
"This is Miss Xiang." Shen Wang Ye said lightly.
Everyone reacted for a second, and then spoke in unison: "Hello Miss Xiang!" β
"......" Xiang Xiaoxi nodded, "You guys are okay too." β
Burst! Shen Lu couldn't hold it back again, and looked at the more confused subordinates and laughed wildly in his heart.
It's so cute! Hahahaha, it's okay to pay you back...... Hahahaha!
"Cramps?" Lord Shen glanced at him.
Xiang Xiaoxi also looked at him curiously.
"Pump...... Pumped. Shen Lu covered his mouth and nodded.
Shen Wangye took Xiang Xiaoxi to the winery: "If your chin is off, you won't smoke it." β
ββ¦β¦β
"Well deserved!" Shen Qing glanced at Shen Lu and followed everyone in. He caught up with Shen Wang Ye in a few steps and asked in a low voice, "Do you want to take Miss Xiang to visit?" β
They are going to negotiate, what if they scare the girl......
"She's with me."
Xiang Xiaoxi heard their words and turned his head and asked, "Is it okay?" β
"Absolutely!" Lord Shen smiled.
Walking through the long corridor full of wines, the group came to the vineyard garden, where there was a group of people at the end of the long wooden table, one of whom sat at the table, and saw that they had not only not stood up, but had raised their feet higher.
"Boss, that's Maktoum." The subordinate bowed his head and whispered.
Lord Shen first helped Xiang Xiaoxi pull out the chair, and then sat down on the other side expressionlessly.
"Boss Shen, look up for a long time!" Maktoum is a purebred Arab, tall and dark-skinned. But because of the three-dimensional facial features, especially the eyes are very deep, he is also a veritable beautiful man.
"Mr. Toom." Shen Wang Ye picked up a bottle of red wine on the table that had been awake for a long time, "We have something to say, you have to see me, you must have made a decision." β
Maktoum didn't say a word, his eyes were attracted by the young girl beside Shen Wangye, and he stared intently.
Xiang Xiaoxi noticed his gaze, tilted his head sideways, and then turned his head and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you a friend?" β
"Not now." Shen Wang Ye poured her a glass of red wine, "Taste, fifty years of aging!" β
Maktoum saw Xiang Xiaoxi take a sip of red wine, and then put it down expressionlessly, and couldn't help but say, "Beautiful young lady, you drank a thousand dollars in one sip, don't you want to say something?" β
"Mr. Toom, if you're here to discuss wine, then we don't have much to say." Shen Wangye and Maktoum spoke Arabic, which Xiang Xiaoxi couldn't understand.
"Taste this." Shen Wangye changed to Chinese, "a small snack made of grapes." β
Xiang Xiaoxi looked at the plate he pushed over, nodded with a serious face, and then ate a piece.
"Okay!" Maktoum lit a cigar, "Then let's get down to business, do you really want to buy those small wineries?" β
There are almost a dozen wineries of all sizes here, and the largest one used to be the Shen family. A year ago, Maktoum bought one of them from the sky, and in a short time began to annex them, quickly becoming the owner of the largest winery in the area.
But his acquisitions were not honorable, and many of them were forced to buy and sell. Later, the remaining few small wineries were forced to have no choice, so they decided to sell their wineries to Shen Wangye.
"You used the wrong word, it's not that I want to buy it, it's that they have to sell it to me." Shen Wang Ye leaned on the red sofa chair, forming a luxurious beauty with his dark blue suit, and his delicate facial features were like a god on top.
Xiang Xiaoxi just turned her head, she looked blankly for a while, and then her expression became more serious.
"It doesn't make a difference to me." Maktoum knocked on the table, "Come on, I want the winery!" Of course, yours and I don't. β
King Shen's slender hand flicked twice on the back of the chair: "It seems that ...... It's not the right thing to talk about. Shen Qing, send-off. β
Maktoum whistled and stood up: "I never force people, you think about it!" β
When he walked past Shen Wangye's side, he winked at Xiang Xiaoxi, and then said meaningfully to Shen Wangye: "If you think about giving this girl to me, then I can not even want these wineries!" β
Smack, Shen Wangye threw out a dagger from his sleeve, Maktoum's face changed, and he rolled on the ground in embarrassment.
"Damn, you're crazy?" He knew that Lord Shen wouldn't really move him, but it was too dangerous just now.
Shen Wangye looked at him like a dead man: "She is my fiancΓ©e, dare to touch her." Don't say you're a UAE royalty, even the prince wants your life! β
"FiancΓ©e?" Maktoum patted the non-existent dirt on his body and stood up, "Aren't you gay?" β
Seeing that Lord Shen's expression was even more gloomy, he smiled: "It seems that the rumors will never be believed!" When I just didn't say anything, see you later! β
"Did he bully you?" Xiang Xiaoxi looked at Maktoum who walked out with a swagger, thinking that if Lord Shen needed it, she could curse that guy a little.
Lord Shen's expression softened instantly, and there was a smile in his eyes: "No, he said that you are very beautiful and wants to marry you as a wife, and I lied to him that it was you and our family." β
Seeing Xiang Xiaoxi's dazed face, Shen Wang Ye explained: "Their country has the custom of snatching back to be a wife if they take a fancy to someone, and I can only make him die if I say this." β
"Old ......" Shen Lu's mouth was blocked again, and Lord Shen glanced at him coldly.
Shen Qing immediately dragged the person far away: "Do you want to die?" β
"Oh my God! The boss is too good to talk nonsense. Shen Lu shouted exaggeratedly, "That guy obviously didn't say that." β
"So what?" Shen Qing said disdainfully, "You want to expose the boss? β
Shen Lu glared: "What nonsense!" I'm admiring, admiring! β
"Shut up, you!" Shen Qing gave him a head shot, "The boss is chasing his sister, and if he spoils his business, he is waiting to be scratched." β
Here, Lord Shen had already taken Xiang Xiaoxi to visit the winery, and a group of local women were standing barefoot in a huge wooden barrel stepping on grapes. The bottom hole is constantly flowing with red liquid, which is the freshest grape juice.
"It's the oldest method of extracting grape juice, and it's still used here today." Shen Wangye explained to Xiang Xiaoxi all the way, "The locals think that the grape juice squeezed by the machine will not be sweet enough. β
Xiang Xiaoxi looked at him: "The wine we drink is all stepped on with our feet......"
"Huh!" Shen Wang Ye helped her brush the broken hair in front of her forehead, "This is just the most primitive grape juice, and the wine has to be fermented, brewed, and sealed." Alcohol is slowly produced over time, and then it becomes the wine we drink. β
Xiang Xiaoxi sighed, and I don't know if she understands it.
"Do you want to try it?" Shen Wang Ye naturally took her hand, "Stepping on grape juice will bring good luck." β
Xiang Xiaoxi's eyes widened, and he looked frightened.
"It's okay, let's try it!" Lord Shen encouraged her.
"Are you with you?" Xiang Xiaoxi is used to doing anything, and he has this man by his side.
Shen Wang Ye shook his head: "Only women can step on it." Don't worry, I'll be there for you. β
"I always thought we had to be single for the rest of our lives." Shen Lu hid behind a wine barrel and said with tears in his eyes, "Look at the boss, his eyes are full of love!" β
Shen Qing was also very emotional, the four of them once swore that if Shen Wang Ye was single for the rest of his life, then they would not get married. Now that Shen Wang Ye finally has someone he likes, they are also relieved.
"I'm going to take a picture!" Shen Lu excitedly took out his mobile phone.
In the big wooden barrel in the distance, Xiang Xiaoxi was still expressionless at first, but later he may have really thought it was interesting, and gradually jumped and jumped, Shen Wangye kept holding her hand and stood outside the poke, and finally he directly hugged the person out.
"Okay, jump again, your muscles will be sore tomorrow."
Xiang Xiaoxi rarely had a shallow smile on her face, and even her voice was livelier than usual, like a real little girl.
"Can I take my step out and take it away?"
"Of course." Shen Wangye helped her wipe her sweat, "I asked them to make a mask with grape juice, and I can give it to my mother when I go back." β
Xiang Xiaoxi nodded, and his smile widened.
She obediently walked with Shen Wangye, but she didn't pay attention to the eyes that the man looked at from time to time. Just like Shen Lu's kid said, it's full of love!
"Boss!"
Early the next morning, Shen Qing walked in with an ugly face.
The two of them were eating breakfast, and Lord Shen raised his eyelids: "What's wrong." β
"Maktoum is here again......"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a commotion at the door.
"Boss Shen! I'm here to give you a gift. Maktoum swaggered in, and behind him there was a man holding a covered plate.
With a wave of his hand, his men put the plate on the table.
"Good morning, beautiful girl! This is for you. He made a gesture of please, and then sat down very consciously.
The lid was opened, and inside was a roasted, strangely shaped animal......
